And the only live ® for "The Enchantress" in a toy-related field (albeit not quite the same category MotUC figures are listed in)? This one.

Given Filmation rights, they might just be able to do this...

It was more common than a proper North American name. It shocked someone. I forget what name it was more common than though.

Well, this is more about the basic principle now than this strict case, but...

As soon as an ® is granted, that's it, same as "Megatron", "Optimus Prime", "Skeletor", etc. Mattel/Hasbro/whoever could apply to have it struck down as untrademarkable due to it being a common word, sure - but they wouldn't, since that would lead to tít-for-tat. (i.e., If Mattel got a Hasbro ® for something like "Enchantress" struck down, how vulnerable would Mattel's ®s like "Sorceress", "Man-at-Arms", "Bow", "Buzz-Off" and even "He-Man" be to ALSO being struck down for the same reason?)

Totally! She could even come with Old Man Marzo as a secret accessory (pun intended)

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I've never seen that show. Is it animated??

OH! Where did you find that extra picture of The Enchantress in her true form?

It's a really fun show (like Hercules and Xena), but a lot of the special effects and CGI are pretty laughable now. Still a lot of fun! It was filmed in Canada and South Africa. It's funny that it's made by Canadians under a company called something like "All American Productions."

Season 1 and 2 (full series) are out on DVD...I think they are available in the U.S.

I found the episode on YouTube! It's "The Beast Within." The part after she kidnaps him starts at 1:01-3:54 and the second part that's important is 5:59 to the end. It continues from the beginning of the second video to 1:35. You have to excuse some of the bad acting.

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

So it's inevitable that several threads will pop up showing support for different Filmation characters.

This one only appeared in one episode, but it was an important one.

Having The Enchantress in MOTUC would be good for several reasons:

- add a female to the vintage MOTU mythos
- further develop Miro's story
- because of the MOTUC canon, we have a happy coincidence in that Marzo was also involved in Miro's disappearance. An association with The Enchantress, therefore, is inevitable, and that only fleshes out Marzo.
- she was kind of the anti-Sorceress, what with her Owl motif
- she is a Mage - always welcome
- she could fill out the ranks of evil in the timeline that is being developed in MOTUC while He-Man & Skeletor are in the TRI-Solar System.

On all points; Agreed. Wouldnt have thought of this, nor thought I would agree with this, but your points are valid. Mind you this would still be so far down on my list of wants, but I agree that it does hold value in this line, if this were possible.

I would love an Enchantress figure and agree the existing bio-canon provides a perfect pitch for Marzo and Enchantress to be in league with each other in the banishment of Miro.

I expect they would go the obvious route and make her an actual Evil Sorceress in line with her similar motif.

Mattel already have the name problem solved: "Battle Enchantress"

This is the funniest exchange I have read on this site in ages.

Its strange cos when I first read CM's post, I was thinking of how Marzo using women would be a turn up from his vintage fixation on kids all the time!

I definitely want to see an Enchantress added to this line! In part 3 of my "Dark Legacies" story (shameless self-promotion, I know--but, see my signature line), I follow the Enchantress' fall from being a Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, her alliance with Marzo, and Kodak Ungol's replacement of her. I would love to see something similar happen in the MOTUC line!

Okay, I took screen captures of the Enchantress and possible accessories for her tonight!

First, parts that can be used to make her (much are what Reboot said):

- Battleground Evil-Lyn's cape
- Toy Frosta's detailed boots (only painting the jagged part at the top though)
- Bubble Power She-Ra's buck
- Sorceress top (white part only) and skirt (it's very close to Enchantress...and because I think she's a Sorceress that's evil, makes sense)
- Sorceress' arms (wrist to elbow)
- hands (repainted regular hands would be okay with me, they did it on Faceless One, for example...but new GLOVE hands would be cool)

New parts:

- Head
- biceps to show the end the gloves

Accessories:

- Grayskull orb repainted to be her "crystal ball"
- Owl (her crystal ball sees through the owl's eye)
- Drude (he could be re-used for Old Man Marzo and the torso for other little characters, possibly)

i don't think the Sorceress top would work but the bottom would and she would have to have the Owl!

The top is close enough for me, and helps make her a little sexier. I really like to think she is a Sorceress gone evil, so having the same basic dress is fine (in my opinion).

I think (if they re-use all the parts I mentioned) she will still look gorgeous and it should give them enough tooling money to make the owl and Drude (as well as including her crystal ball). Besides those guys, a head and biceps are all the new tooling she really needs. Drude needs quite a bit of tooling, so it all works out. Unless they make an Old Man Marzo first, in which case he might only need a new head and frog hands.

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

I'm down for having the Enchantress, she does make the perfect evil foil to the Sorceress.

And for the Sorceress' top, are the blue collared part and the white all one piece? Kind of looks like they might be separate pieces (maybe glued together). Thus, the white part alone would work with Enchantress.

I believe they are separate...I have to mention I mean the white top part ONLY.

EDIT: I found a picture of Cursed/Old Man Marzo!

I would totally accept Drude as a repaint of Marzo with a new head and boots! I'm sure Marzo's pants and sleeves will be painted on...so it's perfect! They're the same size and shape and their outfits (minus the cape for Marzo) are about the same!

It's TOTALLY doable.

I have to say that I would love to see Enchantress avaliable in the "MotU:C" line. She is very important due to being to her connection to King Miro's dissapearance. One of the great things about the Filmation rights is the number of independent villians(esses) now avaliable to the "MotU:C" line. It is a great time to be a "MotU" fan, imo.

Take Care,

Mattel please, buy the He-Man and She-Ra cartoons from Entertainment Rights. If you owned Both Filmation related "MotU" cartoons, plus "NA" and "MYP" cartoons, you would be able to distribute any or all 4 cartoons to Television in the lead up to another relaunch or a live action movie. Plus, you could include Filmation and "NA" animated characters in "MotU:C"!
